(CBS/AP)--Evelyn Lozada is ending her 41-day-old marriage to football star Chad Johnson after he was arrested for allegedly head-butting her over the weekend.

Danika Berry, a rep for the VH1 reality star, confirmed reports that Lozada filed for divorce on Tuesday. According to TMZ, Lozada filed the papers, claiming her marriage is "irretrievably broken."

"Given the recent events that have taken place, Evelyn has decided to file for divorce and move on with her life," Lozada's lawyer, Michael B. Gilden, told the TV show "The Insider" in a statement.

"I would like to apologize to everyone for the recent events that have occurred. I would like to wish Evelyn well and will never say anything bad about her because I truly love her to death," Johnson said in a statement posted on his website Tuesday. "I will continue to be positive and train hard for another opportunity in the NFL. To all the fans and supporters I have disappointed, you have my sincerest apologies. I will stay positive and get through this tough period in my life."

The marriage imploded on Saturday after an argument between the two ended with Lozada being treated at a hospital for lacerations to her head.

According to Davie, Fla., police, Lozada found a receipt for condoms and confronted Johnson about it at dinner. The argument continued during their drive home, and when they arrived at their driveway, he allegedly head-butted her.

In a 911 call released by authorities, a neighbor told police that there was an incident involving a "high-profile person" and is heard telling Lozada to wipe the blood from her head. Lozada is heard saying that Johnson head-butted her, and the caller says Lozada will probably need stitches.

However, Johnson told police she head-butted him.

Lozada broke her silence earlier Tuesday, telling Entertainment Tonight, "It is with great sadness and much trepidation that I release this statement addressing the domestic violence incident that happened this past Saturday. I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me, it is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles."

"Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well," she added. "I'm grateful to my family, friends and fans for the outpouring of support during this difficult time."

Johnson, a six-time Pro Bowler who last season was on the New England Patriots, had been signed to the Miami Dolphins this season - but was dropped a day after the arrest.

Johnson's July 4 wedding to Lozada - whom he courted publicly on the VH1 series "Basketball Wives" - was taped for a spin-off show called "Ev & Ocho." It was due to debut Sept. 3, but VH1shelved it after Johnson's weekend.

Johnson - formerly known as Chad Ochocinco - and Lozada were prominently featured in the recent first episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins."

Lozada was the former fiancee of former NBA player Antoine Walker and has been one of the main stars of "Basketball Wives," which also features Shaunie O'Neal, the former wife of former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal.
